    Right now, Love Boat Captain. Never thought I'd say that!

    That I no longer give a fuck
    Who is wrong and who’s right
  • FUCK THIS IS WAY TOO HARD TO CHOOSE!

    1 You are
    2 Ghost (very close second)
    3 Save you


    such a good album

    Used to skip over Ghost every single time, until 1 day it hit me. Probly my favorite along with Cant Keep and Thumbing.
    And so you see, I have come to doubt
    All that I once held as true
    I stand alone without beliefs
    The only truth I know is you.

    A song I seriously doubt I will be able to listen to live...

    All or none.

    It has now become my holy grail of songs. I guess it has for some time (together with Tremor Christ and Hard to Imagine)

    One of the most beautiful songs ever written.
    I am just a dreamer, but you are just a dream...
    If I knew where it was I would take you there.

    In a three-way tie between Love Boat Captain, Thumbing My Way, and You Are, the edge would go to Thumbing My Way.

    It realy bothers me when I hear people call Riot Act one of their weakest albums. I dont know what they are listening to. This is a great album top to bottom. I must have listened to it thousands of times.

    Its hard to pick just one song from the album. But if I had to listen to one of the songs over and over it would be Love Boat Captain.

    LBC has it all. Great lyrics. Its a fast song yet a slow song at the same time. To boot it is a powerful song.

    They need to take it out of retirement. I was lucky enough to hear it at PJ20. Not played since then. Before then it has only been played twice in the last 5 years. I was shocked to see that info :shock:
    Some words when spoken...Can't be taken back...
